What is it like to travel to Hongcun?

The houses with a little bit of character inside are used to open a homestay, although you won't be kicked out when you go in to visit, but the waiter can't live when you ask, and you're always embarrassed.

There are many people, more cars, and tickets are not cheap, so why can't another parking lot be done well.

Grandeur is advertising, and the village is backward. The ticket 104 is not worth it, the supporting facilities inside have not kept up, most of the private houses have become inns and halls, and Nanhu Academy needs to be repaired and improved. It is said that it is authentic, but in fact, it is the inaction of the beneficiary.

As long as it is a paid scenic spot, the supporting public toilets, restaurants, roads, safety, hygiene, lighting, instructions, etc. must meet certain standards. Virtue is loaded, not to make money. Loyal to the ear, good intentions.

The drop is too big! Tickets are too expensive!

If he is a foreign tourist visiting China, I will definitely recommend him to visit Hongcun and feel the characteristics of Chinese architecture. If it is a friend who loves Chinese style, I will definitely recommend him to Hongcun to see what is called real Chinese style.

For a typical Hui style architectural village, a village that shows the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, the beauty of Hongcun has long been imprinted in the minds of those who have seen her, and after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", coupled with the spread of **, Hongcun is widely known. As a result, there are endless tourists, and the classical beauty here has also been borrowed by more film and television dramas, becoming a well-known natural film and television shooting base.

There is a lot of water in Hongcun, such as rivers such as Moon Marsh and Shuizhen, and water sources such as Nanhu Lake and Qishu Reservoir. So when I arrived in Hongcun, the first thing I saw was not the Hui-style architectural villages with white walls and tiles, but the South Lake of Hongcun quietly nurturing Hongcun like a big bow.

The reason for the construction of the South Lake is that because of the prosperous Hongcun, the water storage in the Yuetang can no longer meet the population at that time, so it has to be a hundred acres of fertile land in the south of the village, chiseled several zhang deep, and built the South Lake on all sides of the stone bank, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the South Lake is pregnant with Hongcun.

Perhaps it is because of the autumn moon style of the Pinghu Lake imitating the West Lake, so the reflection of the entire lake surface of the South Lake is floating, and the water and sky are the same. Standing on the South Lake and looking north, the blue peaks, the gray and white buildings on the waterside, and the dry branches in winter all fall on the surface of the lake, making the whole lake surface light and dark in harmony, only adding depth and elegance.

In the village, you can see many scenes that cannot be seen in the city, such as these air-dried chickens and ducks, on Chinese New Year's Eve, they must be the most flavorful dishes on the table; Does the red lantern hanging high indicate that the old year will go and the new year will be more fiery? The creepers, which spread and clinged to the mottled walls, must be full of green shoots in the spring.

Living in such a place, every day I can feel the small details of life, feel the traces of time flowing through me, and feel that I am really alive, not like in the city, 9 to 5, busy. Such a state of life makes me envious from the bottom of my heart. ‍‍

Xidi and Hongcun are backed by beautiful green mountains, and the clear stream hugs the village through the households, and hundreds of residential buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties stand quietly. The tall and magnificent horse-head wall has a proud expression and a flying charm; The gray and white walls have been painted with mottled lines by time, which has a more dignified and calm effect; There are also clan halls, academies, archways, and genealogies. Walking into the dwellings, beautiful brick carvings, stone carvings, and wood carvings are all in sight, and door covers, patios, gardens, leaky windows, beams, screens, and furniture are silently displaying elaborate design and exquisite craftsmanship.

Immersed in landscape paintings, you can settle down with your whole body and mind and feel the unique beauty from Huizhou!

The beautiful scenery over there is beautiful. The village surrounded by mountains and rivers has a classical charm that attracts people. The well-preserved building, going deep into it, seems to have returned to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and felt the life situation of the ancients, which is really affectionate.

What's the matter with the neighbors, Huayue South Lake can't be painted. Huanji is not disturbing the creek road, and there are clear ditches in the alleys of every house." Hongcun is like a Penglai fairyland in a dream, along the water area of washing the soul has been moving forward, unconsciously will walk out of the outline of the cow, the water of nine bends and ten bends is the intestine of the cow, the "moon marsh" excavated by the spring is the "cow stomach", "South Lake" is the "tripe", the dwellings on both sides of the "cow intestine" are the "cow body", the two big trees at the entrance of the village are the "horns", and the four stone bridges connecting the river meanders are the "cow legs".

The beautiful scenery is the most proud sign of Hongcun, the new green and yellow leaves carry the time of the year, spring and autumn are the most lively seasons in Hongcun, students from all over the world, carrying sketchboards to sit by the river, outlining the distant mountains, houses, rivers, and hanging on the wall yard after drying the chickens and ducks. The breeze was blowing, the warm streaks of water were singing softly with the oncoming wind, the sound of colored pencils sliding across the paper was rustling, and the birds in the air seemed to be able to read the leisurely picture, hovering beneath the blue clouds.

The paintbrush in the hands of the children is like a camera, which can freeze the most beautiful moments anytime, anywhere. The magnificent and majestic Hui style buildings in front of you are reflected on both sides of the Shuizhen, and the cornices and corners that have been baptized by a hundred years are still radiant. "Boundless drizzle and wet spring mud", Hongcun seems to be unable to be described as "fun", can only feel the simplicity of the willow with a smile with a peach, her beauty is neither ostentatious nor gorgeous, making people unconsciously immersed in the charm of humanity and nature.

At sunset, the old couple sat on the riverbank, the mischievous children chased and played, and the pleasing puppies followed behind their owners, and before they knew it, the red sun was setting ...... the west

The old house in Huizhou has high walls and small windows, generally the wall is 7-8 meters high, the wall is 4-5 meters high, the ground floor does not open the window, only a small window is opened on the second floor. Indoor ventilation and lighting are all based on the patio. There is a patio when you enter the hall, and the patio is in front of the hall, and the hall is open.

Huizhou people call the patio Mingtang, as the saying goes, "four waters return to the Mingtang" (the water from the roofs around all flows to the patio), and the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. At the same time, the patio also creates a more interesting space, allowing the owner to experience the wonderful changes in nature and the different sense of light without leaving the house.
